13. Ghost Bark Bites (Exclusive to The Good Stuff)

This simple recipe is the perfect quick-and-simple kitchen craft for kids. Just pipe white candy melts onto a piece of parchment, then let your kids use a spoon to spread the candy melt into ghost shapes. Candy eyeballs, white sprinkle smiles and a spirited sprinkle of sugar crystals finish off these adorable candy bark bites.

Ingredients:

1 cup white candy melt or candy bark

16 candy eyes

16 white sprinkles (that look like a smile)

Sparkling sugar (optional)

Directions:

Place candy melt in a freezer zip-top bag. Melt in microwave, just until the candy melts are soft and no longer hold any shape. Knead the bag for 30 seconds to ensure the melts are totally smooth.

Snip a corner from the edge of the bag. Pipe candy melts in a “ghost” outline (basically, a lowercase “t” with a round head and a twirly “tail”). Use a spoon to smear the candy melt into shape. Use tweezers to place the candy eyes and sprinkle smile in place. Sprinkle the edges of your ghosts with sparkling sugar, if desired.

Allow to harden completely before peeling from parchment. Serve on a candy plate, or use as a topping for cupcakes, cakes or other Halloween desserts. And check out our list of more Halloween treats that both kids and adults will love.
